About CCI4EU
Background
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Europe with an expected increase of about 25% by 2035. A wide and unacceptable variability in terms of access to research, innovation and quality care exists between and within countries.
Possibile solutions are an increase in knowledge by funding research, and a more equitable transfer of what we already know to everyone. Comprehensive Cancer Centres and Comprehensive Cancer Care Networks may be the core of Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures (CCIs) that deliver quality care and provide resources to improve and integrate care, research and education A European initiative, implemented in all Member States, based on a capacity building programme, will help reduce inequalities.
A capacity building programme is a complex intervention designed with an inclusive approach, tailored to the baseline status, capable of creating a change and improvement in research and care, with greater integration between them, supported by an education programme. It will operate at various levels: Individuals, Institutions and Systems.

Title Definition of criteria for Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures (CCIs) using a CCI Maturity Model (CCI MM)
Lead DKG
Deliverables
D2.1 – Definition of criteria and QI for CCI
D2.2 – Maturity model and maturity web
tool
Objectives
- Set out to develop a joint understanding, definition and scope of Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures (CCIs) along with a set of criteria to assess and improve CCIs in all EU Member States
- Embed the defined quality criteria in a maturity model, which will be the contextual backdrop to assess CCI maturity and to develop tailored interventions to increase the individual CCIs’ maturity level

D6.2 – Final Report on 3 regional CB conferences
Objectives
- Implement and follow-up of the Deep Dive tailored capacity building site visits designed in WP4, with the intention to have impact at the Individual, Institutional, and Systemic levels. Up to 9 Deep Dive sites will have been identified in WP3, distributed between the different clusters of maturity.
- Constitute multidisciplinary expert CB teams to perform 3 site visits each over 2 years, interspersed with videoconferences to manage the interventions.
- Report on standards with milestones, with final QI data at the end of the interventions being fed into the maturity model.
- Deliver three regional clinico-scientific conferences open to all MSs and participating ACs on building capacity.
